What Is RevPro

RevPro is the world’s first out-of-box revenue automation software that automates and manages every process in the revenue cycle – seamlessly integrating into any ERP system to deliver unparalleled visibility, functionality and configurability to the revenue recognition and reporting process.

Introducing The RevPro Revenue Automation Suite

Guidance for corporate accounting and finance has become increasingly complex. Over the past 15 years, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) have adopted standards and procedures that mostly impacted the high-technology industry and new guidance based on the Revenue Exposure Draft will expand that industry reach significantly. Most ERP systems evolved when revenue recognition requirements were limited. Computations were initially easy to manage in Excel spread-sheets. As the computations have increased in complexity, Excel has been pushed to its limits – flexibility, risk of error, and capacity are routine issues faced by revenue teams. ERP system providershave lagged in providing integrated revenue recognition capabilities – so there is a gap between what is available and what accounting guid-ance requires or companies need. The gap is best characterized by identifying the keysystem-based shortfalls.

Why It Matters

Changes in accounting guidance increase the risk that errors will occur in Excel-based computations. Managing a company’s most critical account – revenue – outside of the ERP system adds additional risk. Audit costs can be higher than required as a result. Process improvements are more challenging when visibility into the process is limited. All of these – and many more – suggest that incorporating the revenue calculations and processes into the existing ERP system is not only a good idea but a needed one.

What Our Customers Say

‘Holding our revenue data within a single system and calculating revenue consistently outside of a spreadsheet were extremely important to us. Housing our revenue information in one place will assist us to forecast and slice-and-dice our data more thoroughly than we ever could before RevPro.”

Stuart MarCorporate ControllerA10 Networks, Inc.

The customized revenue spreadsheet we were using had grown beyond practical use - and it only continued to grow, month by month. We knew we had to either customize our ERP system or find existing technology on the market that would deliver the capabilities we knew we needed. Leeyo turned out to be exactly the right choice.”

Kathy PearsonDirector of RevenueHarmonic, Inc.

Our experience with RevPro has been extremely positive – my team has become real believers in Leeyo and their products. RevPro has simpli-fied our month, quarter and year-end processes, saved us time, and allowed us to meet and exceed our internal requirements for both speed and accuracy.”
